The ruling on combining flogging and stoning in the hadd punishment for a married adulterer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, in the hadith of 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, the free slave is flogged one hundred times and stoned. Does this mean that the hadd for a free slave is both one hundred lashes and stoning?
Answer:
Yes, some scholars held this view, that one combines flogging and stoning in the case of the married person. 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) did this, saying, "I flogged her with the Book of Allah and stoned her with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." However, the majority hold that stoning alone is sufficient.
